Who is the author of VM?

[tavie]

Rene generally avoids stating theories, which means he is rarely criticised on the basis of those theories, which is convenient; if you rarely stick your head above the parapet then you are unlikely to get shot down. 

I have a lot of respect for those few who have been studying Voynichese for many years and have somehow managed not to fall into the giant trap at the start of the Voynich labyrinth, and also somehow the sneakier traps lying after it. I would like - but without much hope - to be like them in the future!  Many public theories so far seem to share the same trait of their supporting evidence being inversely proportionate to their owner's degree of certainty.  Not joining them doesn't seem to me to signify cowardice.
